Car not moved for months (Chevrolet Lacetti)

[Les Lowe]

Due to a back operation, I haven’t been able to drive my car (Chevrolet Lacetti automatic) for about 4 months. I have only managed to start the car and let it tick over about 3 times. The last time I started it after about 5 minutes there was signs of light smoke coming up from where the dipstick is located. What should I do? Would an oil change be needed and is there anything else I should be looking for? Thanks

Hi Les. If the smoke does not go away after a short while, I’d be taking it to get professionally looked at.
